    This is a trap that I came up with. The main focus for me when building this was to come up with something quick & cheap, yet effective. If the enemy knight tries to escape by destroying the team door, he dies. If a builder is manning the trap, he will destroy the trap bridges or team door and, he dies. The only weakness is that the knight could bomb the stone in the ground on the right and escape, but I'm hoping a builder/team knight would regularly man the trap to set off the trap before that happens. You can also change and build onto this to benefit archers and builders. (Protection for builders & archer holes/nests)

    Resources Required: 12x :castle_wall: 1x :door: 5x :bridge: 19x :castle_bg: (158 Stone/130 Wood)

    Pros:
    *Cheap & quick to build.
    *Simple to remember.
    *Effective.
    *Easy to repair.

    Cons:
    *Knights can escape with 1 bomb.
    *Knights can bomb-jump over the top and destroy the trap.
    *Easy for enemy builders to ruin.
    *Easy to be griefed.

    I mentioned that above. 'You can also change and build onto this to benefit archers and builders. (Protection for builders & archer holes/nests)' ;_;
     
  4. You can easily bypass the basic trap as knight by deactivating the trap bridges when you go to collapse it, by doing this you will probably not take any damage at all. (as shown in the spoiler below :down:) Also, whenever a builder goes to collapse it you can also just deactivate the bridges.

    I think one or two catapult shots would wreak the trap :( and i seems very easily broken by a single builder :(

    Show me any trap that is effective, cost efficient, and is not weak to catapults/builders. Also, as it is stated in the op, this trap is to kill knights, not builders.

    No. Archers and builders can get out of most traps easily. It wastes too much time & resources to make a trap that will kill every class efficiently. That is why spike pits(which are usually used to kill/delay knights) are so popular. They are quick, cheap, and simple. And, the easiest way for a knight to get out of them, would be them using a bomb. Which usually results in them destroying 1 block for 20 coins, which is not an equal trade.
